Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

At the end of November, the weather became a little colder.

Tilan, wearing a winter skirt, walked on the street. It was snowing lightly in the sky, covering the world with a thin layer of white.

Compared with the warmth and relaxation of summer, winter always seems a little restrained and restrained, but for some people, being wrapped in thick clothes is like wearing a layer of armor, which makes them feel inexplicably relieved.

When she came to a store, Tilan looked at the sign above, then pushed the glass door open and went in.

Various lively sounds came to her face, including the conversations of the elderly and children, the calls of animals, the flapping of wings and the running of cats and dogs.

This is a pet hospital, and it is a very popular pet hospital.

"Ah, it's Zijin. Are you resting today without class?"

"Miss Zijin is here. It's been a long time since we last met."

"Can you help me take care of my Xiaobai? He has been depressed recently."

As soon as she entered the door, many people came up to her. The girl smiled and dealt with them one by one, then waved to everyone and walked into the employee area at the back.

This is the lounge. A man in a white shirt is leaning on the sofa with a cup of coffee and reading the news.

"Long time no see, Zi Jin, are you here to play today?" He simply said hello.

"It's a rare holiday recently, so I came to see you." The girl found a place to sit down.

After reading a piece of news, the other party paused the screen, then turned around, first looked at the girl's white winter skirt with plush edges, then looked at the calves wrapped in pure white stockings under the winter skirt, and gave a thumbs up.

"Zi Jin looks good in any clothes." Then he stood up.

"Would you like some hot coffee?"

"Well, have a cup." After thinking for a while, Tilan did not refuse as she did in the past, and wanted to try what the "poison coffee" in Lemon Fruit's mouth looked like.

"Okay, wait a minute." Then he walked out.

Although it was winter, the lounge was very warm. There was a round table in the middle of the circular sofa, and underneath it was a heater that emitted a faint orange light. A white and gray cat was lying there sleeping soundly, and you could hear its regular snoring in the quiet room.

Behind the sofa was a cage hanging, in which a pale yellow parrot was standing with its eyes closed, and on the top of the cabinet on the other side, you could see a green figure, probably a snake coiled up to sleep.

As if it had sensed that the environment here was good, a large spider with white fur and blue color appeared beside Tilan. It first circled around the sofa, with several black eyes moving around, then jumped upside down on the ceiling, ran a few more times, and then landed beside Tilan.

Seeing the big spider lift its foot, it seemed to want to get on her leg, but Tilan nodded lightly.

"No, don't you see how old you are now? You can't lie on my legs, let alone my head."

The big spider now, even in its non-combat form, is two meters wide, and it really can't lie on Tilan's head.

The stopped big spider gritted its teeth, making a sound of grievance and protest, and then ran around the circular sofa for a few laps before jumping onto the ceiling and lying down.

Seeing this, Tilan shook her head slightly. This guy probably wanted to scare people again.

Not long after, the door suddenly opened excitedly, and the exaggerated footsteps woke up the cat sleeping next to the heater, but after seeing who came, it turned around and lay down again.

"Oh, Zijin, you're here. I haven't seen you for a long time." Lemon Fruit excitedly ran to Tilan and held her hands.

"I heard from Okas that your school is very strict and you haven't had a chance to come out this semester, otherwise I would have thought you were missing."

"Well, this is indeed a bit strict." Tilan thought about it and nodded, then changed her mind and asked.

"How has the business been in the store in the past six months?"

"Very good, basically no leaks. The Okas you recommended is really good. Although his style is completely different from Zijin, he has solved many problems." Then she chattered about various things that happened in the past six months, including several times when she encountered customers who deliberately made things difficult, and then was scared away by Okas.

…

“Let me tell you, the white tiger raised by Ocas is very powerful. Although it is the same size as the black lion that Emily sent, its fighting power is completely different.”

“In July, a local thug who was causing trouble raised a particularly vicious white dog that drooled when walking. He came to our store and asked for a bath and trim for his dog. As a result, the white dog almost bit the clerk, but he laughed and said it would not bite anyone to death, so we continued to provide services.”

“Later, when we were about to quarrel, I was afraid that things would get out of control, so I called Ocas, and then he came.”

“As a result, the vicious-looking white dog, baring its teeth and biting around, immediately became timid after seeing Ocas, and when the white tiger brought by Ocas appeared, it lay down and dared not move. Seeing this, the local thug was very angry, but it was relieved.” Lemon Fruit kept talking.

"That dog shouldn't be an ordinary animal." Tilan thought that if it was a low-sequence extraordinary animal, it would be easy to control with the strength of the store staff.

"Although I don't like it, the dog does have the strength of Sequence 6. According to the thug himself, he spent tens of millions of federal coins on it."

"No wonder." If it was Sequence 5, the guard animals resident in the store could suppress it and it wouldn't be so passive.

But that being said, there are really many rich people in the Central Star Region. The white dog that Lemon Fruit mentioned should not have much combat power. Sequence 6 is purely a flower stand piled up by resources. It is estimated that it cannot defeat some carefully cultivated Sequence 5 animals, but even so, people are willing to spend money.

I am afraid that he is also a rich kid, not a simple gangster as Lemon Fruit said.

While the two were talking, Wu Suo, who was wearing a white shirt, came back with two cups of hot coffee in his hands.

"The second lady is here too, do you want to drink some?" He put down the coffee.

"No, you drink it yourself." Lemon Fruit waved his hand, and then looked at Tilan curiously as she took the coffee.

Sniffing lightly, and then taking a sip, the slightly bitter taste of the coffee spread, and then quickly dissipated, and a faint sweet taste appeared again, which was full of layers.

"Mr. Wu Suo's coffee is really good." Tilan commented.

"Let me tell you, Miss Second, you see Zi Jin thinks my coffee brewing skills are good enough." Wu Suo was quite satisfied, and then continued to sit on the sofa and clicked on the news broadcast on the projection screen.

[Today, the exchange team from Feiyu Star Region officially arrived, many of whom are students from Feiyu Star Region University, including a special guest, Miss Shela Lanke, the "Rhythm of the Star Ring"...]

"The Winter Festival is about to begin. The exchange team coming this time is expected to compete with several famous schools in Academy City." Lemon Fruit said the news conveyed in the news.

"Last winter didn't seem so lively." Tilan recalled.

"Yes, college is different from high school. The winter competition is no longer a full-region competition, but an exchange competition between some colleges and universities. It is usually held every two years."

"Shela Lan is about the same age as Eluklu and the others, only two years older. This time, the two of them will probably have to fight each other as the finale."

"By the way, will Zi Jin participate in the exchange competition between colleges and universities? I heard that powerful colleges and universities will send top students to participate to show the strength of their schools. This is also the origin of the ranking of colleges and universities."

"Me, I don't think I received a notice." Tilan thought about it. She hadn't heard any news about this. It is estimated that the singer would not be involved in this kind of competition between colleges and universities.

After that, the few of them chatted for a while, and then Tilan stood up and prepared to walk around the store to see how everyone was doing.

"Come down." Before leaving, Tilan waved to the ceiling, and then the two people in the room saw the big spider hanging upside down on it.

"Ah——"

Lemon Fruit was startled on the spot, and then reacted. Although Wu Suo was surprised, he was later amused by Lemon Fruit's scream.

Following Tilan, the big spider swayed around swiftly, looking around all the way. Fortunately, there were not many people in the staff area at this time, and only some animals in cages were wary of the big spider that suddenly appeared.

All the way to the dormitory area at the back, Tilan saw some familiar faces, such as the lazy big tiger of the store manager, several animals that were fostered for a long time, and finally came to the attic, but found that the familiar black lion was gone.

Did he leave? Tilan thought about it, then went downstairs and came to the courtyard where he was raised in the back. Finally, he saw the familiar figure on the grass.

"Roar--" While making a low roar, he shook his mane and shook off the snow on it. Then the black lion walked lightly across the snowy grass towards Tilan.

"Did you see an old friend?" The woman who was also admiring the scenery in the snow turned around. She was wearing dark sunglasses, and even in winter, she was only wearing a thin coat.

Seeing the black lion approaching, Tilan squatted down, reached into its thick mane, tickled it, and then watched this guy lie down with his eyes narrowed, his limbs stretched out and slightly stroked in the air.

At the same time, the woman with sunglasses in the snow also came over.

"Hi, hello, seeing how familiar you are with the 'Black Prince', it must be Zi Jin." She took off her sunglasses, revealing her brown and smart eyes.

"It's me, are you Miss Emily?" Tilan remembered that the owner of the 'Black Prince' was Emily.

"Yes, it seems that Little Lemon has told you a lot about me." She also squatted down, but patted the lion's buttocks to let it stand up.

"Let's go, let's sit over there for a while." Although the snow was not heavy, it was indeed inconvenient to talk in the snow.

The two people and the lion walked side by side in the snow. The big spider that followed Tilan not long ago now changed the color of its fur, its body became ethereal, and it easily hid itself in the snowflakes, running around happily.

Tilan was very relieved about it. It didn't matter if it didn't come with her now. If she needed it, she could easily call it over.

Let it play for a while. After all, it was boring to stay at home with her every day. It was rare to go out for a walk.

They sat down on the observation deck next to the courtyard. The black lion also lay beside them, occasionally opening its mouth, as if yawning and relaxing.

"Zi Jin was a graduate of the Cultivator Academy, right?" Emily said, touching the lion beside her.

"Yes."

"It's amazing. Whether it's the customers or everyone in the store, they all say you are very reliable and great."

"Thank you."

"I'm usually very busy at work, and I don't have much energy to take care of 'Black Prince'. I usually foster it here and come to see it occasionally." Emily talked about her life.

"Sometimes I feel sorry for it, but sometimes I feel that I should focus on my career instead of taking care of animals. People are really contradictory creatures."

"Maybe everyone has a soft spot in their hearts." Tilan responded simply.

"Well, but slowly, I found that this seems to be good. I come to see it occasionally. Watching it grow up healthily will make me feel inexplicably relaxed and satisfied. If I have to let it stay by my side, it will most likely be trapped. It’s very unfree in a steel cage.”

Apart from the 'Black Prince', the two chatted for a while about the various animals in the store.

"...I feel like Zijin is very good. At least I wasn't as good as you when I was in college. I was always overwhelmed by various topics."

"After graduation, do you want to try our company?"

"The company Emily works for is the giant company 'Daksh Matrix', right?" Tilan recalled what Lemon Fruit introduced a long time ago.

"Yes, that's it, a special company focused on high-end AI generation." Emily replied.

"You can understand that the generation of high-end intelligent AI is divided into two parts, one is the hardware body, and the other is the neural network architecture as software. We are a company focusing on the latter."

Hearing this, Tilan was a little curious.

"What stage has the current top AI reached? I heard someone say before that if the restrictions were relaxed and AI was allowed to simulate humans, almost no one would be able to tell the difference."

"Well, because of the confidentiality clause, I can't tell you directly. I can only say that certain bans are indeed necessary." Emily smiled.

"However, don't think too highly of AI. For it, everything is the result of calculation and selection of massive data, which does not mean it has emotions."

"It just knows that this answer is in line with the needs and desires of humans in the database. This will score the highest score. In other words, you have set some kind of emotional model for it in advance, and it will give feedback according to this model. "

"Unfortunately, for most people, they cannot distinguish between AI and real people. Even AI's personality is more abundant and richer than real people because it has a more powerful database support."

"Do you know why the federation wants to ban this kind of function?" Emily suddenly said with interest.

"have no idea."

"Because if we let go, society's cognition will change dramatically. The 'love' that was rare in the past will become widespread and devalued. Then, even in the face of sincere emotions, people will no longer believe and cherish it. ”

"As a result, the foundation of many art, literature, and even film and television works will no longer exist, and humans themselves will slowly fall into the cold world of data and become a member of the machine."

"Machines will only choose the best, do the most efficient thing, the path that goes most directly to the subject... Deliberate mistakes and detours are unreasonable to them."

"Does it look familiar? This was the choice of the Mechanical Council back then. The entire civilization is like a highly efficient machine."

"It is a pity that this kind of civilization did not reach the end."

"Things like emotions are not sacred at all. They can be imitated and deceived. But if you really want to say that they are useless, they are not. They give humans diverse motivations."

"For the entire civilization, this diverse emotional power drives humans to explore in all directions, thus truly expanding the vitality of civilization, bringing about an ecological environment like stars, and bringing about all kinds of strange biological forms. It also brings about vigorous life adaptability.”

"For example, machines do not need to wear socks, but humans do not. People not only wear socks, but also choose socks of various materials, densities, and colors according to their own preferences. When exploring, manufacturing, and using these socks, In the process, humans have discovered all kinds of new and interesting knowledge, or ignited new inspirations and expanded into new fields.”

"In this way, new discoveries and new knowledge in countless fields can always spark a few sparks and bring new progress. The end of the Mechanical Council is that the efficiency they pursue has greatly reduced the area of ​​the cognitive world. , like a long and narrow straight line, and a civilization full of various emotions, like a radioactive pattern, will come into contact with more things.”

"But, human beings are like children who never grow up. They never remember the lessons and are always going through the cycle of making mistakes, suffering, recovering, and making mistakes again. In this regard, they are not as smart as machines." After that, she He touched the black lion lying next to him.

"I admire the entire civilization, but I don't like people in reality. Most people are not worth getting along with, and are far less innocent and cute than animals."
